Description:
Subtitled 'Quest for the Dragon Bone Staff', this game develops the Might and Magic story but continues to feature elements from the original PlayStation games in the series. This latest adventure is sure to captivate gamers and critics as the previous games did - Computer Games Magazine said of them, "Heroes of Might and Magic I and II were two of the best time-sucking games ever created." This time, gamers stumble upon a world of darkness where King Argus III lies helpless after an attempted assassination. Malazak, the son of the Wyrm-Father, eagerly awaits news of the King's passing so that he can divide the Kingdom between himself, a demon and a minotaur. It is up to the player to save the kingdom from such brutal corruption by locating the mysterious 'Dragon Bone'.

Choose from a variety of stunningly rendered characters: The Barbarian, The Sorceress, The Paladin or The Knight. Whoever you play must be qualified to locate and capture a total of 17 vicious villains, littered throughout plains, forests, castles and dungeons. Furthermore, you can command armies comprising a medley of unusual characters including pixies, dwarves, ogres, vampires and dragons. In the best tradition of the series, there is much that is comfortingly familiar about this game, but don't get too complacent - randomised gameplay means that events unfold differently each time you play the game.
